AFC Champions' League Group Stages (04/05)

Melbourne Victory v Gamba Osaka


Wednesday, April 5

Melbourne Victory v Gamba Osaka

Verdict: A few motivations for the home team here as captain, Kevin Muscat, plays his last professional game in his home country before retiring. In addition, Melbourne has improved since the last time these two teams met (5-1 win for Gamba), gaining 4pts in two games against current group leaders, Tianjin Teda.

Gamba has just started their domestic season and have so far, performed poorly away from home. The Japanese super power has also lost their two away fixtures in the group to Tianjin Teda and Jeju United. A draw for Gamba Osaka will be enough here, as they can go through to the knock-out stages with a win in their final group game, in Japan.

Pick: Melbourne Victory +0.75ah @1.88 (188bet, 10 units)
Melbourne Victory 1 - 1 Gamba Osaka
